Savor irresistible caramel apple cheesecake bars a musttry treat that combines creamy cheesecake with the sweetness of caramel and fresh apples
Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
16 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups finely sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
1 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until everything is well blended and resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the lined pan to create an even crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in sugar and mix until incorporated.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until everything is creamy and combined.
Fold in the sliced apples into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggles. Do not overbake to ensure the cheesecake remains creamy.
Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then chill it in the refrigerator for 2 hours to let it set completely.
Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, and cut into squares to enjoy!
